5 B. Definition and Classification of Reactors 1. What is a Reactor? a. A device that encloses the reaction space, and which houses the catalyst and reacting media. b. A container to which reactants are fed and products removed, that provides for the control of reaction conditions. 2. Classification of Reactors a. Size b. Methods of charging/discharging: batch or steady-state flow c. Motion of particles with respect to each other d. Fluid flow type: tubular or mixed-fluid

Greater variation in operating conditions and contact times is possible 6. Usually a high ratio of catalyst to reactants long residence time complete reaction 7 Little wear on catalyst and equipment 8. Only practical, economical reactor at very high pressures Disadvantages 1. Poor heat transfer in a large fixed bed. a. Temp. control and measurement difficult b. Thermal catalyst degradation c. Non uniform rates. 2. Non uniform flow patterns e.g. channeling 3. Swelling of the catalyst; deformation of the reactor 4. Regeneration or replacement of the catalyst is difficult - shut down is required. 5. Plugging, high pressure drop for small beads or pellets - P is very expensive. 6. Pore diffusional problems intrude in large pellets Overcoming the Disadvantages 1. Monolithic supports overcome disadvantages 2, 5 & 6 2. Temperature control problems are overcome with: a. Recycle b. Internal and external heat exchanges c. Staged reactors d. Cold shot cooling e. Multiple tray reactor - fluid redistributed & cooled between stages. Catalyst is easily removed - varied from tray to tray. f. Use of diluents g. Temperature self regulation with competing reactions, one endo and one exothermic. h.

23 Table 12.6 Characteristics of Plant-Scale Fluidized and Slurry Bed Reactors Advantages 1. Frequent regeneration of the catalyst possible. 2. Rapid mixing of solids in fluid beds means uniform gas composition. 3. Isothermal operation and efficient temperature control is practical. 4. Small-diameter particles in fluid minimize pore diffusional resistance. 5. Improved thermal efficiency because of high heat transfer rates. 6. In the case of highly exothermic, liquid phase reactions, slurry reactors are less complex and less expensive than heatexchange-tubular systems. Disadvantages 1. Fluidized beds are complicated systems involving multiple reactors, heat exchangers, extensive valving and piping to provide continuous system. 2. $$ Extensive investment. Maintenance is high. 3. Fluid flow is complex in fluidized and slurry bubble columns - less than ideal contacting. Product distribution is changed - less intermediate formed in a series reaction. 4. Only a small variation in residence time possible. Low residence times. Conversion may be limited. 5. Attrition & loss of Catalyst.

33 Collecting, Analyzing and Reporting Data from Laboratory Reactors Different purposes: 1. activity/selectivity and life data for catalyst selection 2. chemical reaction mechanistic and kinetic data for understanding the reaction at a fundamental level, modeling the reaction process, and/or designing reactors 3. process variable data over a wide range of conditions for purposes of designing large-scale reactors, experimentally validating models and optimizing the catalytic process. Data collection typically involves three major steps (Fig ): 1. selection of a reaction and catalyst 2. selection of a reactor type 3. analysis of the data

35 Table 12.7 Proposed Guidelines for Choosing Catalyst Form, Pretreatment, and Reaction Conditions and for Reporting of Data [Ribiero et al., 1996]. 1. Catalyst Properties and Characterization a. Catalysts/surfaces should be carefully prepared and pretreated so as to be free of solid contaminants such as sulfur, chlorides, and carbon that might affect activity. b. Support effects should be avoided by studying reactions on single crystals of the active catalytic phase, e.g., metal, metal films, and/or relatively highlyconcentrated, poorly-dispersed supported metals. Preparation methods should be used which minimize decoration of the metal surface, e.g., decomposition of metal carbonyls on supports. Supported base metal catalysts need to be wellreduced to avoid complications due to unreduced metal oxides. c. In the case of structure-sensitive reactions, effects of surface structure and/or dispersion need to be taken into account. d. Metal dispersion/surface area should be measured using proven and/or standard (ASTM) methods, e.g., hydrogen chemisorption or titration rather than CO chemisorption for metals. e. Methods of preparation and characterization should be reported in detail. Methods for calculating surface area and dispersion should also be carefully reported. Reporting these methods and the surface area or dispersion of catalyst samples should be a requirement for publication of specific activity data.
36 Table 12.7 Continued 2. Reaction Conditions a. TOF and kinetic data must be measured in the absence of pore diffusional restrictions, film mass transfer limitations, and heat transfer limitations (generally at low temperature and low conversion). Experimental evidence and calculations based on well-known criteria (e.g., the Thiele modulus for pore diffusional resistance) should be provided in publications to demonstrate that the data were obtained in the absence of these effects. b. TOF and kinetic data must be measured in the absence of deactivation effects, e.g., poisoning, coking, and sintering. The burden of proof that such effects are absent should be on the authors of a publication. c. TOF data should be collected over wide ranges of temperature and reactant concentrations to facilitate valid comparison with data from other laboratories and to provide meaningful data for determining temperature and concentration dependencies. d. TOF data should be reported at specified conditions of temperature, reactant concentrations, and conversion. These specifications should be used by reviewers and editors as a minimum reporting requirement for publication in a journal.
37 Analyzing and reporting data from laboratory reactors 1. Analysis of rate data: objectives a. finding a rate equation b. determining catalyst activity, selectivity and activity stability c. determining the effects of important process variables such as temperature, pressure, reactant concentrations, and space velocity on activity, selectivity and stability 2. Extracting rate constants and concentration dependencies a. Integral analysis b. Differential analysis
38 Figure Test for integral analysis of rate data involving plot of W/FAo versus integrated reciprocal rate. W F x x x x Integral Analysis of Rate Data x x dx o (-r A ) Integral analysis of rate data involves the following steps: 1. A series of runs are made in a packed bed at a fixed initial concentration C A o and a fixed temperature while varying the catalyst mass W and/or the initial molar flow rate FAo to generate a range of W/FAo values at different conversions (X A ). 2. A candidate rate equation is selected for testing using the design equation for plug flow. First try simpler rate equations, e.g. zero-, first- and second-order irreversible and use differential analysis to scope out possible reaction orders. 3. The left-hand side (W/F A o) and right-hand side (the integral of 1/ r A ) of the design equation are each evaluated numerically and plotted against each other, as shown in Figure 4.19 to test for linearity. 4. Linearity of the plot (e.g. Figure 12.15) is used as the criterion for judging if the candidate rate equation is a useful model of the data, i.e. consistent with the data. 5. This should be followed by a nonlinear regression with statistical analysis to determine kinetic parameters.
39 Fig (a) Differential analysis to obtain reaction rates. (b) Plot to obtain reaction orders. Differential Analysis of Rate Data X A 1.0 a slope = -r A ' X 0.5 X X X X X 0 W/F A0 X X X ln (-r A ) b X slope = α X X X ln C A Differential analysis of rate data involves the following steps: 1. The identical series of runs (as in integral analysis) are made in a packed bed at a fixed initial concentration C A o and fixed temperature while varying the catalyst mass W and/or the initial molar flow rate F A o to generate a range of W/F Ao values at different conversions (X A). 2. A plot of conversion X A versus W/F A o data is made for each set of runs at a fixed temperature. A best fit of the data is made using a simple quadratic or cubic equation, and the corresponding curve is plotted on the same figure, as illustrated in Figure 4.20(a). 3. Tangents to the curve are drawn at regular intervals along the curve corresponding to the best fit, and the slopes of these tangents are evaluated (Figure 12.16a); the slopes on this plot correspond to the reaction rate, i.e. dx A = ( r A )[d(w/f)]. Tangents can be evaluated more accurately by differentiating the equation for the best fit of the data and evaluating the derivative at various intervals over the data set. 4. Values of r A versus X A are plotted on linear or log-log plots to determine reaction orders. For example, for an irreversible reaction in which data are fitted by a simple power rate law, r A = k C A α, a plot of ln( r A ) versus ln(c A ) is linear with a slope α (Figure 12.16b). 5. Differential analysis is a useful scoping tool to explore forms of the rate expression; however, in the end a nonlinear regression and rigorous statistical analysis is required to obtain kinetic parameters with acceptable accuracy.
